Back from France. Sorry but I'm too tired to catch up on every story, so I'll just re-follow now. See you're still going strong, coming close to 100. Great  |

welker: Well that's class for you!
SSJ2Luigi: After all stage races are all about consistency 
Ian: Welcome back. To give you a short summary the pink jersey changed shoulders almost every day in the final week of the giro with Fuglsang taking it back from Antón on the stage 21 TT. He then went on to finish 2nd in Dauphiné (Gesink won) after a stage win on Ventoux.
We dominated Jylland Rundt, and took three stages, the points, mountain and young riders jersey in Tour de Suisse.
Next on the menu: Championship week!

You did. Especially the Giro was nervewrecking with only 7 seconds parting 1st and 2nd in the end

   National Championships - Time Trial
We declared from the start that we wanted a monopoly of National Championships in the North. We have all the champions on the team, but has never actually won all the races. This is the time to realize that ambition!
So that's 3 out of 3 this far - but the roadraces could turn put to be the hard part...

Im sorry if I have missed something here.
Why isnt Matti Breschel in your team. He is a danish rider who in PCM2011 rides for rabobank. Good cobble rider amd decent sprinter. |

Jakstar: I'll do my best!
Ian: Only one RR-title would be considered a failure for this team...'
Luis Leon Sanchez: I know Matti Breschel very well and he is on the team. He's not just in form at the moment since he will be targeting the Vuelta and the World Championships after having ridden the cobbles season and winning Milano - Sanremo.

You should also place breschel in Paris Roubaix. He is in my rabobank team in my career and came 4th in Paris Roubaix and 2nd in the national road race . |

Obviously he rode all the cobbled classics. As far as I remember he finished 6th in P-R this season.
I find it next to impossible to have a proper peak for cobbles, NC and WC without overdoing the fatigue, so this year Matti is going for the rainbow in stead of the NC. Afterall WC's are another of his specialities

sutty: Thanks. Everything pretty much went by the book even though I came close to losing the Swedish championship yet again...
Luis Leon Sanchez: They can be really tough races if you haven't got the specialists. And after all Freire is three-times World Champion and Breschel has two WC medals IRL...
